Incidence of carditis and predictors of pacemaker implantation in patients hospitalized with Lyme disease

PLoS ONE, 2021
Background Lyme carditis, defined as direct infection of cardiac tissue by Borrelia bacteria, affects up to 10% of patients with Lyme disease. The most frequently reported clinical manifestation of Lyme carditis is cardiac conduction system disease.

Genetic and physiologic dissection of the vertebrate cardiac conduction system. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2008
Vertebrate hearts depend on highly specialized cardiomyocytes that form the cardiac conduction system (CCS) to coordinate chamber contraction and drive blood efficiently and unidirectionally throughout the organism.

Hyperchaotic behaviors, optimal control, and synchronization of a nonautonomous cardiac conduction system

, 2021
In this paper, the hyperchaos analysis, optimal control, and synchronization of a nonautonomous cardiac conduction system are investigated. We mainly analyze, control, and synchronize the associated hyperchaotic behaviors using several approaches.

Conduction System Pacing for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) via biventricular pacing (BiVP-CRT) is considered a mainstay treatment for symptomatic heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction and wide QRS. However, up to one-third of patients receiving BiVP-CRT are

Left Bundle Branch Pacing in Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis and Alternating Bundle Branch Block

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
Progressive conduction system disease affects patients with transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis, often requiring permanent pacing as the His-Purkinje system is affected. We present a case of left bundle branch pacing in a patient with transthyretin cardiac

Desmin variants: Trigger for cardiac arrhythmias?

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Desmin (DES) is a classical type III intermediate filament protein encoded by the DES gene. Desmin is abundantly expressed in cardiac, skeletal, and smooth muscle cells.

Development of the Cardiac Conduction System [PDF]

Circulation Research, 1998
In the formed heart, it is convention to distinguish working myocardium (the primary function of which is contraction) from the conduction system (the primary function of which is the generation and conduction of the electrical impulse). The conduction system comprises separate components with distinct functions.

Electrocardiographic patch devices and contemporary wireless cardiac monitoring. [PDF]

, 2015
Cardiac electrophysiologic derangements often coexist with disorders of the circulatory system. Capturing and diagnosing arrhythmias and conduction system disease may lead to a change in diagnosis, clinical management and patient outcomes.

The evolving state of cardiac resynchronization therapy and conduction system pacing: 25 years of research at EP Europace journal

Europace, 2023
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) was proposed in the 1990s as a new therapy for patients with heart failure and wide QRS with depressed left ventricular ejection fraction despite optimal medical treatment.

Engineering a conduction-consistent cardiac patch with rGO/PLCL electrospun nanofibrous membranes and human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
The healthy human heart has special directional arrangement of cardiomyocytes and a unique electrical conduction system, which is critical for the maintenance of effective contractions.
